Web discovery engine Trapit launches iPad app — but it’s not another Flipboard. Trapit, a discovery engine for web content from the group behind Siri, is releasing its iPad app Thursday after launching a public beta web version last November.
With the introduction of its tablet app, Trapit plans to compete against news reading apps like Flipboard and Pulse — and thinks it will beat those companies by using artificial intelligence to offer adaptive personalized content. It is also planning to enter into publisher partnerships. Trapit’s web version has over 25,000 users a day and the company says they spend an average of 16 minutes per visit.
The company is based in Palo Alto, Calif. and is venture-backed by Horizons Ventures and SRI International. As in the web-based version, users start by searching for a subject or URL. “Flipboard is essentially an RSS feed,” Trapit co-founder and Chief Product Officer Hank Nothhaft told me. Other apps “lift, borrow or steal a good chunk of content and text and present it in their interface,” Nothhaft said.

Here’s How You Might Be Able To Watch Live TV, For Free, On Your iPad – AllThingsD. Your iPad can do lots of things, but live TV generally isn’t one of them.
With a few exceptions, the TV networks don’t want their programming going out live anywhere but your big screen, under their supervision. Here’s a start-up that wants to change that: Bamboom says it will let you watch live broadcast TV anywhere you can get a Web connection, on whatever device you want. We’ve seen versions of this before. FilmOn and Ivi both offered something similar last year, and both tried to argue that they had the same right to distribute broadcast TV signals that cable companies did. And both have been slapped down by the courts. But Bamboom has a Rube Goldberg-like approach that might hold up to the inevitable legal challenge: The company will assign a tiny broadcast antenna to each customer, and will move the TV signal from the antenna to the cloud, where it can move it to any device with a browser. So what does that mean if this works? 2012 - A Year in the App Store.
